As a small issue about the source of the name Gentoo, even though the
Gentoo Penguin was named as *Pygoscelis papua* by Forster, that does not
really help us to know where the English Common name came from. Forster
apparently
For what it's worth (possibly nothing), from Wikipedia:
The application of *Gentoo* to the penguin is unclear, according to
the *OEDhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OED
*, which reports that *Gentoo* was an Anglo-Indian term, used as early as
1638 to distinguish Hindus
Actually, the full nomenclatural information is:
*Pygoscelis papua* (J.R.
Forsterhttp://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/J.R._Forster,
1781). So there is a publication by J. R. Forster in 1781, describing this
penguin.

So it's either add cacert.org to your trusted authorities, or live in hell

not every site out there that has a cacert certificate.
Okay so how

No. Gentoo is an anagram for net goo. Furthermore, Gentoo Linux is an
anagram for Tux, go online. This why Gentoo was chosen.
